Living up the "Hill" really doesnt help when it comes to new and awesomeness foodie places. The dude behind Freedom Café is Neil Roake, author of cookbooks such as Life's a Beach Cottage and Shiny Happy People. I'm told its a quirky little restaurant, tucked away down a side street in Greyville. Enjoy a meal in a bright red converted shipping container.

I'm seriously a last minute dot com type girl and as usual I have a couple of off cuts of wrapping paper and no tags.... so cruising on the net I've found some great downloadable/printable tags to make life just a little easier.

These charming owls in scarves and hats are perfect for adding a personal touch to all your Christmas goodies. Simply download, print and start decorating! Click here to visit Kelly's blog and to download the PDF.

Some very talented people behind Wee Birdy put together these free gift tags and labels for Christmas.

I just love and support giveaways. Shivani who authors My Owl Barn. She recently worked with over 30 artists to make the Owl Lover 2011 Calendar, a free calendar that you can customize and then download.

How cool is that:-

About the project Shivani says, “This calendar is the outcome of my desire to work closely with them and to create something great for all the owl lovers! When I contacted them with my idea for this owl-themed calendar, not only did I receive the custom made wonderful owl art work, but also words of encouragement and best wishes which kept me going. All the beautiful art in this calendar will warm any owl lover’s heart. As beautiful as it is – you can still improve the calendar by customizing it, and picking and choosing the images that you love the most. Yes, that’s right, there are a lot more than 12 images for to choose from, so you can browse through our gallery, and select the ones that you love the most.”

Here's a fun project for Christmas cakes or puddings, top each one with this paper Christmas tree. A free printable diy project from craft and decorating magazine based in the Netherlands: 101 Woonideeen. The instructions are in Dutch, but it doesn't look too hard.... Download

The NSA gallery has a lovely exibition of local designers and their "stuff". i just could'nt believe that they take 40% of the retail selling price from those who creatively put themselves out there.

I figured that since I'm launching my new "Play" line on Saturday, that I'd give away a Dress (randomly) to all the peops out there that are following my blog. So a Caroline dress is up for grabs and for those that dont have littlies, a set of bright pillowcases. All you need to do is follow my blog. Competition ends on the 01 Dec 2010.

Now that we have been forced to buy bags (I know for a while now), I'm sure most households are like mine, plastic packet after plastic packet - why not make a few cute ones with Sew 4 Home’s free tutorial. Keep one for your own kitchen (or laundry room) then give the others to those people who only like practical gifts….like Mom’s and your best mate down the road.

I just love it when the postman delivers a parcel..... cause you just know that a parcel does'nt have some sort of corporation bill attached.... Lookie see what i got.... Oh and another pic of my "Play" Flowers.
